I love the creative ways in which vintage handkerchiefs have been incorporated into weddings recently! Whether
for Save the Dates, Invitations or simply for decoration- a collection
of these hankies in various floral patterns creates such a beautiful,
old-fashioned aesthetic.

Inspired by this concept, I designed some letter-writing paper sheets in the style of vintage hankies. Guests can pick them off a line to write little notes to the newlyweds and then hang them back up for
display!

In the same vein as this previous DIY where I also explored the concept of 'Love Notes', these "Hanky" Love Letters are a unique guestbook alternative for your wedding.

Download the designs below and print out onto textured white stock. Then use a ruler and scalpel to cut out the individual sheets.

I've also provided a design with a cross-stitch heart in the center. This can be used as a decorative device in between your hanging letters.

I hope you enjoy these designs! I'm sure you can find a multitude of other uses for them also- e.g notecards, everyday letter-writing, thank-you notes etc.

Oh how I wish I had had these a few weeks ago for the vintage inspired Sweet Sixteen party I styled for my daughter. I used vintage hankies for the bunting for the photo booth. They would have been great for thank you cards and would have tied in with the theme perfectly. My daughter ended up typing thank you cards on a vintage typewrite which look fabulous too.

These are unbelievable. So incredibly pretty, cute and chic at the same time. Thanks so much for sharing these.

Gorgeous! I love them! I know you don't know me from Adam, so it's awfully presumptuous of me to make a suggestion, but I'm going to make one anyway, and you can ignore it if you like and I won't be offended. I think you should adapt these as letterfu designs (http://www.letterfu.com/ ). They'd be so perfect and lovely, and so much better than any of the letterfu designs available now! There's even a blank template available on the letterfu website for designers to work with.

Hi Judith- I don't think you can add text to the document simply using the Acrobat Reader. However, if you get Acrobat Pro http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/ I believe you can. Similarly, if you have a graphics program like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop you will be able to do it.

these are beautiful. thank you so much. i always look forward to your free templates. you are awesome <3

Love these! Going to use them as shower invitations. There are two ways to print text on them that I know of. The first would be to print them and then run them through the printer a second time to print the text. Just have measure them to make a template first and hold them up to the light until you get it just right.

Second is to use the Snapshot Tool which looks like a camera in the Adobe .pdf reader. After you click the camera icon drag a box around what you want to copy and then paste it into an image editor like Photoshop Elements (you can download a free trial) and then you can make a text layer on top of the hanky layer. That is how I did it. They came out so cute!

Very lovely and generous of you to share these! Only problem I seem to be having is getting the page to load for any of the downloads so that I could save and print. Is there another option for downloading available? Perhaps your site is overwhelmed and I will try again otherwise I do love the uniqueness of this and hope to use it. Thanks again for your offer and generosity!
